He was that Mike Tysons promoter with the steel wool hair ! ear come to think of it his hair was at 120deg mabe thats the answer to the probe spacing design problem ! just employ him as an apprentice and glue the probes to his hair and wala ! he can hold the Meggers and just walk foward for the 3ph test !

if you look at the plan view of the starship enterprise, you can see that the whole ship is a giant flux capacitor. no wonder the romulans never caught up with them.

i reckon that you should do a zs test then check for broken/loose cpc's, i don't know why but i've seen weird voltages on incorrectly installed earth's and beleive its something to do with induced voltage, maybe not the answer but worth a try

And how many meters go that high? I suspected it was 650Ohms not MegOhms.

my Metrel goes to 999 MegOhms actually!

Hi Ex Army

Are you saying all your IR tests are clear with 650 Meg and the leakage is when appliances are plugged in when tested with the earth leakage clamp meter ?
